9:45 Student Production

CAWD1 and CAWD2 both have production time this morning. Please communicate with your groups.

10:45 Break (15 Minutes)

11:00 inDesign Magazine Spread

This morning we will be creating a magazine spread for a topic of your choice. I will be guiding us through some of the layout tools, text columns, alignment, image adjustment and hopefully a few more things.

After we have gone through the quick exercise, I want you to go out a grab a few things of your own:

Focal Point (This could be an image, the header, or even an open space on the page)

Secondary Design Element (Above example would be the tiles)

When complete, upload as spread.jpg to your week_25 folder.

12:10 Lunch (30 Minutes)

12:40 Attendance

12:45 Google 20%

I am giving you all TWO AFTERNOONS this year for google 20%. I did this for two big key reasons:

Ability to continue projects more seamlessly from week to week.

Allow every student (who doesn’t leave on both afternoons) to get a google 20% each week.

I truly do feel we make our best work when our creativity can flourish. Set yourself a reasonable SCOPE for a project and go from there.

Self-directed time for a topic of choice. It can be anything CAWD related. Go out, find a couple tutorials, maybe some inspiration for a specific piece of art, or learn a new skill altogether. Rough topics below to maybe help you out:

Web

Game

3D

Photography

Video

Graphics

Animation

I’ll be going around at 1:00 every Tuesday & Friday to gather your topics. You can always continue your projects from week to week (I highly encourage that your do!), but I need to see significant progress.
